MONSTER ELEPHANT ENCOUNTER!
This video is NO BULL!!! Family of 5 Survives; Bull Elephant whisperers, on Kenyan Safari This was such an adventure on the Savanah. We also saw buffalo. Cheetah. Zibra. Wart Hogs. Giraffe. This is the best elephant encounter video on the internet and one of the largest and most beautiful elephants I have seen. We rented a small station wagon and guided ourselves through the National Park in Kenya East Africa called Amboseli and we stayed at the Ol Tukai Lodge which was also amazing. We got robbed by monkeys. They ran into our cabin and stole the sugar lol. We also got to eat camel. pretty good. Baracuda was delish! While we dined we saw elephants mating off in the distance. I thought this would be a 30 minute + spectacle. . . was 30 seconds. We also had a magnificent view of Mount Kilimanjaro in the background.

That's one of the most gorgeous African elephants I've seen.
As if you have seen many
Lalit Tanwar what type of comment is that? Don’t be a troll.
A lil sus
Right
That dude tells the elephant "we are not going to hurt you." The elephant says "I know you aren't going to hurt me but I haven't decided if I'm going to hurt you."
D BX lmao
Lol! EXACTLY!
Hahaha
50 cal rifle changes everything though.
@@jerryp1392 nuclear weapons change everything though... idiot
Guy: “We’re not going to hurt you.” Elephant: “Yeah, we both know that.....but you don’t know that I’m not going to hurt you”.
Total respect. The most majestic animal on the planet.
-Close the windows! -Now we are safe😂 *It's an elephant not a bee
lollllllllllllll🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂
Idiot: "NoW wE aRe SaFe" Me: That elephant can destroy your car with all of you inside. You're not even remotely safe.
You can't write stuff like this, only a handful of Karen's can! Lmao
He is not a monster. He is so beautiful, brilliant and kind gave a way to pass over the vehicle
he's challenging them..
@@resusdaskalos7956 : Never. No one likes strangers in their home without permission.
by “monster”, he was talking about the size of the ele
I think they use the word "monster" for the size of him, not his personality.
So cute how scared the wife and kids got. Respect for the man keeping a cool head and not doing anything rash
Human : "we are not going to hurt you" Elephant : wait I am suppose to say that
He said, "That's beautiful! Thank you God for that!" That's the proper response to an encounter like this ❤
Amen. But I would have been like their little girl in the back seat whimpering!! Absolute terror seeing something so huge and ALIVE!!
@Blackhorse Engineer they’re scared of the unknown Elephants DONT attack unless threatened so the best thing to stay still and wait til it passes.
@Blackhorse Engineer he would be a dumbass to start the engine and move actually killing them 💀 it’s a harmless creature thats just standing their and they’re scared gg
@Blackhorse Engineer but elephants are completely different from Lions, Tigers and Bears. Elephants are pacifists and don’t attack unless it’s a last resort or if it’s a Mom with its baby. It wasn’t luck that got them out of there it was just common sense
@Blackhorse Engineer I didn’t understand the last part of what you said but I’ll assume you meant “shoot” which is an idiotic mistake not only are you putting more fear and danger on the kids and wife but you’re also putting gracefully animals to rest only because you were scared of them 🤦♂️. In situations of danger and panic, there has to be one person to step up calm everyone down and help them think straight.
4:20 "Let's just wait here and let's be quiet and let's not move so it won't be scared and let's wait for it to pass us." Elephant: "I'll just wait here quietly and won't move so they won't be scared and I'll wait until they pass me." Awkward silence.
lemmysfibroma LOLOL😂😂😂
Hysterical, Lemmysfibroma!
lemmysfibroma yup that seems about right
Kriiik kriik kriik kriik (cricket sound)
Fuckin funny!
3:59 Man : "we're not going to hurt you ok". Elephant : "LOL, yeah OK"
I've never seen an elephant this huge even in videos or tv. Man this elephant looks like it is prehistoric.
I seen if you scroll down a much bigger tuscker, litterly just as quietly comes through the trees, driver, SHUT THE HELL UP NOW, TURNS OFF, THIS TUSCKER, AT THIS TIME IS A RARE SIGHT, LIKE MAMMOTH TUSKS, AGAIN DRIVERS, STFU, PLEASE, SHUT UP, ELEPHANT USES THE SAFARI JEEP TO SCRATCH HIS SIDE, EVERY TIME SOMEONE EVEN SIGHED, ELEPHANT REACTS ASAP, COULD EASILY OF TUMBLED UT OVER, I ACTUALLY HAVE THE POST, ELEPHANT JUST WANTED HIS SIDE SCRATCHED, SAFARI JEEP DINTED EVERYWHERE, THIS ELEPHANT HAD NO TAIL, WASN'T IN MUST, ONLY REASON FOR THE DRIVER TO SHOUT, INCASE LIKE THIS ELEPHANT, NOTICE WHEN KIDS ASK DAD A QUESTION, EARS GO OUT, NOT VERY GOOD EYESIGHT BUT HEARING AND SMELL AND VIBRATION ATE ON HIGH ELERT... LOVE WILDLIFE...
There is a KZhead video of a humongous tusker, male, bull elephant that will knock your eyes out!! The biggest I have ever seen. It shows carers giving him water. His tusks are very long and very thick, and the tusks criss cross each other!!👀
Type in “bet he can’t drink beer that fast” and see this beautiful large elephant!!
Mom: "Oh god... Oh god..." "Jesus Christ..." Natasha: "He's coming.." Mom: "Natasha, calm down!"
Those poor children
Yeah that was irratating. The kids probably wouldntt have been scared if she didnt start freaking out
😂😂
lol
@@pejmul10 What did you expect her to do?
Bull Elephant: “Are these hoomans gonna move or what? Seriously, I even got out of their way."
Exactly!.......😁
MONSTER IS YOURE DESCRIPTION , THIS IS A MAJESTIC AND AND MAGNIFICENT IS MORE ACCURATE AND RESPECTFUL ON THIS BEAUTIFUL ELEPHANT
Monster is a word colloquially used to describe something that is very large in size (I.E monster truck). This bull elephant is not only HUGE even for an elephant, but in rut from the looks of it, which is when they are their most dangerous. I love elephants and totally agree that they’re gentle giants who deserve our kindness and respect, but part of that respect is acknowledging and accepting the fact that these things are HUGE compared to most living things and could/would flatten us in a second if we gave them a reason😅 Monster isn’t a derogatory term in this case, but simply a term used to describe the sheer size and strength of this, as you said, MAGNIFICENT creature. God bless 🙏🏻✝️
We’re not going to hurt you Elephant: Damn right you’re not
Today's winning comment!
The mother instilled all the anxiety and fear in her children and then tells them to calm down.
That would be me!
DeadBunny69 mom needs to calm down
Typical colonizer behavior
Lolz buddy, I was thinking exactly the same 🤣🤣🤣
NIKKI JUSTICE ON THE RUN I thought the family was black, what do you mean by colonizer????
I respect that dad was trying to be respectful to the elephant. Kept his family calm and gave them something to remember for the rest of their lives. Ele is very inquisitive.
....Ur FOOL.... Playing with the children Life....U can never Be a Good Mom.... ...........that thing is an absolute Threat and he stayed there whenever he gets chance to Leaf....Fool
@@jerrycmattathil8862 holy shit i had a stroked reading your comment
Thank you Perfectly said. I usually take a lil beating in the comments lol have a great new year!
The elephant decided not to kill them. The dad had nothing to do with it, he could have just as easily been crushed along with his whole family. It just comes down to what the elephant wanted to do to them, and it decided not to crush them. There’s no heroism or respect or anything impacting this from the human perspective aside from the dad’s decision to put them them at the elephant’s mercy. There was time to back away at the beginning and he thought it would cool to roll the dice
L’éléphant n’a décidé de rien. Il était calme . Il avait apparemment bu puisqu'il était en partie mouillé. Il est habitué à rencontrer des voitures. Un pachyderme d’une quinzaine d’années. Bien dans sa peau.
OMG 😃 He is absolutely beautiful. Look how big he is. 😍😍😘😘
3:59 Guy: "We are not gonna hurt you, OK..." Elephant: "Seriously, bro? I`m deciding if I want to destroy you and the car or not"
Trust me I you want to destroy the elephant you can just drive 120 km into it I know the car will be broken but also the elephant
Lol
hoe's before bro's you’re fucking dumb. Driving a sub 1 ton vehicle into a 6 ton mass of muscle and bone. Do your math....
@@hoesbeforebros6030 from that distance you will not be so fast when you hit him, that's not a ferrari.
@@SiliconDrifter it surely hurt the elephant, and if her legs get crushed, he is doomed to die.
You guys are lucky to meet this majestic animal. Elephants are so emotional and understanding in family groups. They deserve to live and not poached! Live long and stay healthy.
Not helping by calling it a Monster". Beautiful, majestic and sadly so endangered. What are we doing to this world?
Told that to the Chinese they are the ones who are buying the ivory.
Understanding of family groups? Holy fuck
So basically, Elephants *_deserve_* to live just because they're not stupid?
@@sabinemackinnon3510 We're doing the same thing every top species has done before us; we're dominating it, and to the best of our ability -- given whatever tools evolution has given us -- making it better, safer, and easier for our young to live in. We're not tailoring the planet to make it worse for us, but better for the less intelligent species who couldn't compete with us. *NO* species of creature would ever do something so silly-- including elephants. If they did, they wouldn't last more than a couple thousand years.
A beautiful majestic elephant. The greatness of nature.
Such emotional and intelligent creatures. He showed you compassion. He knew there were kids in the car.
My God he's magnificent
Yes he is. Very much so.
THE TRUE KING OF THE JUNGLE
That's an elephant not a mouse
And he knows it
Why thank you. I’ve been working out
You wouldn't be ignoring that elephant if it was in the room.
Hehe
Why is their not like 1K 👍likes , that’s funny!!
😂😂😂
Nah hed b shaking its trunk as he gets out of the way like flash Gordon.
😆 😆
Even Rangers ask everyone to stay silent....but they keep yapping...the Elephant can hear and is curious..probably the children's voices
Respect works both ways! He’s got more understanding than humans. Beautiful animal in his habitat!
That elephant like "This road is closed for today, come back tomorrow when I'm in a better mood"
He seemed to be in a pretty good mood to me.
"We don't want to hurt you" Elephant:"I'd love to see you try"
😂😂😂
lololol
Don't forget, human have guns. And guns can kill elephants. Take a Barret 50 CAL sniper and shoot the Elephant in the head, it will die instantly.
@@FF-jf8yg is that what don trump jr used?
Dianne yep right after he hunted that Triceratops
“ seatbelts.” Yes, best defense against a raging elephant.
When he flips the vehicle over. Yeah, those seatbelts might save your life.
"Roll em up kids"
How could anyone shoot one of these amazing creatures?
This is the most chill and cool elephant I've ever seen.
Because the rest were in captivity?
He big and old. I'm sure he's had some fighting days but he don't give a fuck
"I gave you a chance to pass. You didn't take it. I will NOT walk down that ditch again!"
Hahahahaha!
Lol the mother says we're doomed? And he will crush the car? Lol great things to say to the children
What a magnificent creature! You guys are very brave to have stood there for that long.
The Elephant seems peaceful . He’s just checking it all out.
Gorgeous?? I LOVE African elephants! What a beauty!
Its a she...and she is beautiful
Probably the matriarch of the group checking out what these cars are up to.
@@berryvnwml6665 I may be wrong... but i think the matriarch wouldn't be protecting the group like that. She would be in the field next to any elephant calfs she or her sisters have had. Shes the one who usually makes the call to surround the youngn's. Her eldest child would be the one out in the road protecting the herd. And if that is a female.... GOD!! Can you imagine the father!?!?
@chanctonbury63 I know what a bull looks like.. That is not a bull elephant. Type: bull elephant on Google and you'll see.
Human: "We are not going to hurt you okay". Elephant: "okay. Thank you for saying that in English. I don't understand Spanish."
They should be quiet and soak it in.This is majestic creature.
“We ain’t gonna hurt u” Elephant: Dude please!!!
“Close the windows” 😆🤣😂 Yeah sure that will protect you from a potentially 13,000 pound Elephant
It would keep it from putting it's inside the car, initially.
Heh.
13,000 lbs, that's crazy
@@vinniedurrant A lot more, biggest weighted is nearly 30 000 lbs...
Fishermans Friend I would say 16,000 pounds.
It appears the Elephant is the more intelligent species in this encounter..
" We're not going to hurt you" lol The king of the jungle says, you got that right peanut.
What jungle?
@@varric Just a humorous expression don't take it too seriously
Elephant : I'm deciding if I am going TO HURT YOU or not.
He's actually standing guard because there are females and children around. Elephants are worse killers than big cats.
Exactly.
That's the most powerful single animal on the planet.
What a beautiful creature. So big and majestic !
Elephants are very smart, the Dad was right and stayed calm, what a magnificent fellow that elephant was, he had every reason to be fearful and aggressive and wasn't.
jrzy78 - It’s mankind who is dangerous
Everyone knows that elephants speak English fluently. Telling them, "We're not going to hurt you" is always very effective.
This elephant is trying to avoid these humans. See em smelling the grass and hesitating to go forward on the path?? He wants no trouble. It's a shame that he had to walk off the dirt road bcuza these ppl I'm glad the ppl backed up n let him be. Elephants walk these paths to good food or water holes, these paths are ancient. Hundreds of generations bfor him carved out these paths. Let him walk the ancient trails paths his forefathers created ❤
Lol are u serious. Stop being so sensitive
@@whitetiger5181 ohhhh l I'm ABSOLUTELY serious!!! U evidently don't know anything about this species. Elephants feel every emotion humans feel n for the same reason. Imagine urself walkn down the sidewalk ......n outta NOWHERE.....a pack of wolves or some deadly creature confronts ya!! See what im saying?? It's real close to what u wood feel if in the same situation.....they feel the exact same feelings we feel n for the exact same reason !!! They're sensitive...just like we r. Think about being in this situation---same thing!! Yea I'm serious. U would be too if in the same circumstance 😉 He's doing everything he knows how to do to avoid these ppl...he's actually scared (which we know--it is the majority of the reason why any elephant lashes out...n let's not forget what happens to n elephant when it lashes out,rite?!!) but this could turn aggressive qwik! It's a serious...well ok could turn into a serious situation. See that movement he's doing?? Around the 8.30 timestamp?? He's putting his trunk over his tusk??lol ppl don't get it but....that movement is an action taken a split second bfor they charge lmao most of us don't "speak elephant " n dunno these things (he seems my comment about u not knowing these creatures 'evidently udk the species or w.e i txtd u--most ppl don't no that...he's about to pop off- that trunk over the tusk is the writing in the wall. Yea...this could qwikly go from 0to100! Lol n it's crazy too bcuz this family (just like me too!!lol) WANTS TO see this magnificent animal as up close as possible...i guess that just human response or desire but...they're actually in a dangerous position n dunno they r but mostly...they're blocking this guy from his birth given rite to roam this planet n walk these ancient paths his anscestors carved for centuries. N it's only more important than them in my opinion bcuz they're in his backyard!
@@dionnedunsmore9996 Touch some grass
The elephant is like, "Y'all gone move out my way or naw??🤣🤣
Lmao
Cinnamon Jones y did u say my eyebrows were unfashionable?
Elephants are very smart animals, they would use proper english.
I loved it when the guy said "thank God for this". Made me smile
There's something wrong with you if you smiled because an adult male thanks an imaginary entity for the existence of a giant animal that could kill them at any moment
@@RaoulRamsaran why are you so triggerd
Yes. What a gift of an encounter.
@@JoshuaMT grow up
@@r.a.s6410 ***SERIOUSLY WTF***
I'm just happy elephants are herbivores.
Just because they won't eat you, it doesn't mean they won't kill you. Bull elephants are known for being violently moody.
They could roll and crush that car in seconds.
God made a very special Elephant. He’s massive King of his species.
Really, He's old. It took a lot for him to walk down into that gully. He shifted his weight because his joints hurt from standing around. Arthritis happens with old age. He's seen so many people, he wasn't scared. He just has seen his share of poachers. He was concerned too. Poor old Elephant.
He actually in his prime big strong and relaxed
How do you know he’s old?
@@aaaeee2862 color
I love when the youtube experts come out lol
F that. Poor humans
"Dont worry,Elephant, wE aRe nOt gOnnA hUrT You!" Elephant was like "Oh, thank god, you strong men. Thanks for sparing my life."
This is actually funny..
What if guy had a gun o.O
Whaaaahaaaaa thats what happend .....love ur comment
LOL!!
You realisw we qre thevmost powerful right? We could kill all animals if we wanted to. They can't kill all of us
Staggeringly beautiful elephant - thank you for sharing
What a majestic animal - how can people hunt or poach them ?. I takes 40 yrs to reach this size.
When the elephant grabbed a snack while checking them out I knew for sure he was just curious and did not feel threatened.
The one most important thing I love is how well the kids listen to their parents. !!!
Smitty Smitty But parents were clueless
not whiny brats
Not the buy me a Iphone type
I think having a huge elephant there helps.
@@tm502010 They didn't make any mistakes, despite pressure and no experience in the matter....what more do you want man? You go around judging people so negatively, then proportionally, you'll grow to feel more and more people are doing it to you; no joke. Its not a feeling you can control, and it will last
For the people criticizing them, why be negative? Everything turned out fine, they handled it quite well, and he's a beautiful thing to behold. Stop pretending you know how things work, shut up, and admire the beauty.
thank you
Exactly ‼
Bunch of racists in here. If the family was white nobody would be complaining
Plot Twist: The elephant is thinking the same thing, he's wondering why you wouldn't just pass through.
That's the alpha elephant. He's going to keep standing there checking you out since he'll protect his group if needed
Male elephants don't live in groups
@@KARTIKEYA007 yes!!! This elephant is more than likely the matriarch of the group !
That elephant gestured 4 times for you to move left, away from the herd, finally outright leaning to it's right/your left. When it stepped aside to your right, it put itself directly between you and the herd, doing it's best to inform you of it's reason for approaching you, not so that you could pass. If you had tried to pass, it would've thought you intended to bypass it's guard in order to approach the herd, and it would've charged immediately. Of course, you could not move left so you should've backed up way sooner. You are very lucky that this particular elephant was this patient.
Yep, these idiots were pretty stupid !!!
@@ouraniakostas4208 chill
My instincts says ray32245mv's interpretation is correct. Well done ! But it's likely i wouldn't have had a CLUE being right there. I think i would have had the same reaction AS EVERY SINGLE PERSON IN THAT CAR ! From the child who stayed completely silent - to Mom shaking, and another child fervently praying, and Dad so awe struck and THANKING GOD FOR THAT GLORIOUS GIFT !!! I'm actually not sure i would have stayed as calm as Dad. STELLAR JOB !!! I am SO GLAD you did not pass the elephant ! Parks should give classes / printouts ahead of time telling what to do in such situations. May all beings be at peace, and all of life thrive. Not least of which the glorious elephants !!! THANK YOU FOR POSTING !
Dont go to places like this with kids who cant handle it please, its annoying. This is his territory. That is a beast of an elephant though, what a cool animal.
You have to appreciate how cool and level-headed the father stays knowing his kids are in the car.
You mean a blockhead oblivious of the danger
@@JL-bz9hi if he started the car it would have intimidated the elephant and it probably would have charged
@@lucasbrandt5501 this may or may not be true, but either way, this clearly wasn’t his reasoning for staying.
So great to see people scared of this beautiful creature! That's how it should be. Fear and respect. It's their land.
Amy Bee yes yes yes
Optimus27 sure. Keep thinking that and it'll be shriveled up before you can complain your insecurities to another creature. Arrogance at its finest and no understanding of why we are just one of many species in a global ecosystem. It gives us what we need, not us providing for the world.
Optimus27 you forgot micro predators: microbes, mosquitoes, bacteria and protozoans, which are taking more of a toll with out higher population concentrations. And no you couldn’t kill every single creature because we haven’t reached all of them and there are some we haven’t detected right under our noses. Are you implying it would be alright by you if we suddenly did go on a mass murder spree? And based on our current rate of resource use, it’s not our land alone because we don’t understand how every single aspect of the physical, chemical, and biological aspects factor into our global ecosystem. Basically we’re trashing our planet at this rate without fully understanding and taking initiative of how we can be better and make it common practice. Instead, people who claim their research off of anti vaccination blogs are attempting to refute the hard work of scientists around the world - well versed in their field and whom dedicate their lives to this - as an excuse to continue their unsustainable life style choices. Should we have no admiration or respect for our world? Being smart and advanced doesn’t mean we can go out and kick elephants and claim we’re superior. The species that do best adapt to change fastest. Since a lot of humans are unwilling to change their ways and make any efforts to help the world they live in, I worry about if this species will even be considered fit by evolutionary standards and not use the brain we have that got us this far.
Ali Ajaj No. I respect these animals but we do let them survive and it's only their land because we allow it. If we are animals too, as the majority seem to believe, then why should we stay away from the wilderness? Why should we stay crammed into cities while they have all of this space? If I want to go out there I'll go out there.
Jack Lewis fine by me, but do me a favor. Have some respect for it. It has a broader indirect but sure impact on your quality of life. Just like most people are unaware that 70% of your oxygen comes from the ocean yet people are butthurt about changing their mass consumer and single use plastic lifestyles. Trading short term happiness for a trashed environment which will cause long term but severely damaging effects even on us.
Reason #23 why I watch glorious wildlife from my PC monitor.
Yep let them take the chance I'll just enjoy the view!
What a beautiful elephant!! Amazing
What do people expect? A Disney movie? That is a magnificent animal who belongs there; the people do not.
I love the contrast in this video, and I’m being serious; the husband is being calm and thanking God for this encounter, and his wife is freaking out in fear, which leads the children into fear, and she’s pleading to God to keep them safe. 🤦🏻♂️ Good job being a man of peace, love, and Authority, my friend. 🧡🙌🏻
David Bruce That’s why women outlive men
Need to listen to tape. The elephant was displaying dominant and territorial displays, walking towards the car, in front of car from way off. He is also alone, the heard moving closer and closer. That elephant was telling you in his terms, that he is going to take care of business. Leave respectfully, to preserve his status. And no, just because he moved to the side means nothing, as he moved towards the heard, not away from them. He was telling you these are his, you are not welcome, you will leave one way or the other. Bulls do the same thing. They to, will move towards their heard, before they take care of business, human. And don't expect a charge, more of a mosey on up to and take care of business.
No your wrong ....he's just thinking how many views this video will get $$$$.......she's the rational one....he is choosing foolishness what about the kids safety??

@mr man Yea good point I guess. Sudden movements are not advisable in such situations .lol.....one hell of a scenario though.
People will say it’s the biggest elephant I’ve ever seen in other videos but this is probably the most massive I’ve ever seen in any videos I’ve watched
you just said the same thing twice and it’s hurts my brain
the Monster ist not the Elephant!!!!!! The Monster is driving the Car!!!!!!!!
I love all the fucking online biologist in the comments. The guy in the video did just fine. He didnt become all eratic and try to haul ass out of there. "the elephant gestured to move by". No, the elephant was just being an elephant, moving to stay between the herd and the car. Guides will actually tell you, if a elephant starts becoming to curious and intrested in you, to NOT haul ass outta there. It promotes unwanted behavior between elephants and vehicles. One of bull elephants favorite past times is to chase things to feel dominant. Just a few scared people in a car. Yet everyone in the comments is talking shit, and calling them names. Grow up.
Agreed, all these people insulting the man is really annoying. At least he stayed calm. People can talk as if they know everything about it, but if they were in the situations themselves, I bet quite a few would do the same or something dumber.
@@fartedididnot3685 Amen to that.
I think he reacted correctly... elephants aren’t aggressive animals unless they are mating, scared or protecting their young and they show obvious signs of all of those things as warnings to other animals and people. Also, his kids will remember this for the rest of their lives, in the long run they’ll be glad they stayed and got within feet of one of the largest animals on earth. People calling this guy stupid are ridiculous and probably scared of their own damn shadow. This was a truly awesome experience
Tyler S. ..... If you visit somewhere like this place and return home with out a similar experience then you should not have traveled there. I too thought they did fine. Most negative remarks here are stupid simply because this was a meeting the family could not know they would have and many people hope for. Hopefully the kids will remember and cherish the once in a life chance they had.
So, your there with your family... " this will be the trip of a lifetime, I don't know anything about wild elephant, but I'm sure it will be fun" OMG!!
Darla Long people definitely don’t see them everyday and in a situation like this, to be that close is a once in a lifetime that those kids will talk about forever
@@tylers.7786 Hopefully..and not tell their friends.." we were almost killed by a giant elephant"..cuz, that's what kids do...plus, it 's way more interesting ..right?!!!

What are you doing there anyway? The elephant says "Hey it's my road humans, back off!" 😆😆😆
It's the Elephants road. You did the right thing by backing up. You have your family to protect. He could have charged and flipped your car like toy.
MrPepper312 Never heard of an elephant charging and flipping a car. Yes he could if he wanted to, but he wouldn’t have. Elephants are gentle animals. They don’t lash out for no reason
SlimV1per She was Indian and I'd agree except for the little kids in the car.
@@nolagirl7082 There are videos of Elephants doing that

@@barbaravick5634 what do you mean by "Indian" and how does that explains why she was behaving as she was!
I love how they are terrified and can't stop talking but vwhen the kids express their emotions they are like "calm down stop freaking out" 😂 Do as I say not as I do....ROFL.
Airik1111 The dad was Chill, the mom was the one freaking out.
Maybe if his stupid wife wasn't scaring the kids and being overly dramatic, the unique experience could've been more appreciated. Do some researches on "how to react in case of Elephant encounter" BEFORE going on a safari. Thanks God the husband was wiser and knowledgeable. Dumb wife is more worried for her car, she is building panic and their children's anxiety instead of remaining calm.
How lucky they were to experience such an incredibly beautiful animal. A true gentle giant.
I liked what you said... A true gentle giant. So much better than the title 'MONSTER ELEPHANT ENCOUNTER!' This gentle giant is not a monster.
@@Kathleen49 Thanks. Whenever I see an elephant, I'm always a little saddened because of all the horrible things we've done to them (the circus, poaching, habitat reduction, etc.).
@@Kathleen49 Elephants are NOT gentle. The man driving the car did everything perfectly…otherwise this recording would have made the world news showing the moments before “Family turned into road kill while on safari”. A male elephant in musk is the most dangerous of animals. What would you have done? Maybe haul out the Planter’s Nut Mix…
@@maureenfitzpatrick440 Steve Davies 3 weeks ago These are the stupidest people in the world... They are SOOOOO lucky they weren't killed... Fcking idiots, talking like they looking at a Disney character.... If the family turned into road kill while on safari then it's the stupid family for staying there when this gentle giant gave them opportunities to move on, not once but several times. So a gentle giant he is. What I would have done is listen to what the gentle giant was saying through his movements and left him alone by using the options he was giving. Don't be a pig head and put your family in harm's way, move on idiots.
How stupid r u ppl time to panic when the animals come in a pride
You said it bro, what a magnificent animal, absolutely beautiful
They were never in any trouble, he wasnt displaying playing any anger towards them , just checking you out! Beautiful animals!.
he didnt look aggressive. but he was way to engaged for my comfort. in the end, he started to get annoyed, like they were taking too long, and he(the elephant) didnt understand it, and it was becoming a concern.
Not true..
That was the biggest elephant in the world! He was guarding over the herd in the field to your right. You played the confrontation just right but you could have left earlier. Had you proceeded forward it would show aggressive action and would have provoked a charge, first a display of warning then trumpeting then attack. Your car and everyone in it would have been hurt very badly. You experienced a once in a lifetime event. Good for you. Of course elephants have the largest brains next to Blue Whales in the animal kingdom and are capable of empathy. I am an authority on both African and Asian elephants.
The cool thing about the internet is how we can make up lies about ourselves and other people mostly really cant find out if you are b*llshit or not.
What a magnificent being. 💙🐘
this elephant blessed you. i am so jealous elephants can actually feel and smell danger as opposed to fear. and they have an almost ridiculous sense of hearing. they can hear small grumbling communication from herds miles away. he hears your babies. in any encounter i have seen, and it is in the thousands, NEVER have i seen a child hurt. that includes bulls in full musk. elephants very seldom walk backwards that far. this elephant is giving that driver the message he can pass unharmed. he knows they are scared so he steps back. his trunk is down, ears relaxed. it is a magnificent beast, but i have seen many encounters and this one isnt the best, but it stands out. i suppose if i was there it would feel like an amazing one of a kind, thus the best. i did watch it again and it reacted everytime a childs voice is heard. if there were no children, he would have moved off the road and just kept going. probably would have had a little chuckle as he walked past, even stuck his trunk in. i love elephants so much, i am right now making a small 'reborn' elephant. so am studying them.

Dad: “He’s not going to hurt us, see he’s letting us pass” Proceeds to sit on the road🤦♀️
At least the dad is keeping his cool and not putting a bunch of fear into his kids unlike the bitch ass mom
@@peoplelegend8476 "bitch ass mom" It's guys like you who'll shit all over the car seat in a situation like this who berate other people for being rightly scared lol
Dude put his entire family at risk for some FUCKING photos!!! SMH
What people don't realize how intelligent these animals are. It literally stepped out of the way, took lunch while he's at it and the people was still too scared to move. 😂
to move, would meaning turning the car back on and they don't want to make any sudden noises. the elephant did get startled when they finally turned it on, but luckily he didn't freak out
Tout à fait d’accord avec vous.
This Beautiful Bull Elephant was obviously the leader of the herd. The other fellas are just chilling and eating grass. He was protecting his big family. The worst thing to do is try to go by him, which would by his nature, think of this as a challenge. Backing up was the best thing you could have done to save your butt. Look at his reaction when you started to back up. Challenge over.....
Bulls don't lead elephants, the matriarch does. Adult bulls only show up to breed.
@@snappingbear Sounds like me
A potentially dangerous situation, but the entire family reacted pretty well. The dad turned off the engine and didn't try to turn around or pass the elephant; he decided to be cautious and it paid off. The kids were mostly calm and delighted at being that close; they were all understandably nervous but kept their voices down. That and not having the engine running seemed to keep the elephant from being angry or frightened; he acted calm, even a bit curious. Only when the car restarted and had backed up did he give a bit of a threat display. Love the dad pointing out that they were on the elephant's schedule, "elephant time", not theirs. A poetic and wise observation.
wright534 He could have charged them. The dad admitted he did the wrong thing at the end when they told him to back up. This is what he needed to do in the first place instead of cutting engine off, but not before the standoff began otherwise the elephant may have chased.
Beautiful and poetic father's observation
I know he can crush me, my family and my car. I'll put them all in danger for this video. what a nice thoughtful and loving family man. His size alone would make me turn around film from the rear window.
I totally agree and also took note of the father's intuition. That elephant was so beautiful. And the wet mud on its body just added to the sensual innocence of the whole situation. Sheer awesomeness
Thanks for narrating what we all saw.
Sensible family with no screaming or boisterous behavior. Children are well-behaved.
The elephant is not a monster, it's the people that violate his space and slaughter his family that are monsters.
Bull elephant:I have no problems Humans:I think we do
the Elephant was thinking " go on call me dumbo punk make my day "
terry tuna make my day !! 😭😭
😭😭😭
that’s crazy but i don’t remember asking
"He's on elephant time" 😂😂😂
Spectrum Glare that’s crazy but i don’t remember asking

I tried reading some comments, some said they should have stayed and chilled. Wrong, that elephant could literally squash that car, and seriously harm the family. They took a huge risk, the mom was on to it. The dad was dumb. The biggest issue was the child in the car, even if the elephant was just curious, or itchy, and rubbed against the car, the child could have screamed, and that could easily frighten the bull elephant. Then who knows... Even in the best of circumstances, elephants that size can roll a car over, just because; they do not need a reason.
elephant that size, can pick the car up and throw it. it can squash it like a tomato can too
And there was 3 children in that car, that father was taking a huge risk to his children.😮😮😮
You lucky it's not Elephant mating season, I'm From Somalia you have to respect these animals
Somalia has elephants?
When the vehicle started it was shaken by the slightest noise🙄🙄 my goodness ! what a wonderful noiseless world they live❤️❤️❤️ God Almighty Jehovah bless them... Beautiful creatures 😘😘
3 TIMES SMARTER THAN HUMANS 🏋🏾♀️
Jehovah’s beautiful creations
2:34 - 2:46 .....Was the elephant making way for them or confused/unsure and avoiding conflict ? ..... The size of this animal is just breathtaking ... absolutely majestic
he was allowing them to pass.
Kenneth Kigundu I think both! Looks like it's thinking, "What y'all gonna do???" He looks annoyed but he is definitely GORGEOUS!!!
I'll just check out the chow on this side (eats grass, thinks 'A little vinagrette, perhaps? Nothing?')
Kiggundu . .kitufu nyo
And then you wonder why some times this encounters turn bad. 1- It is a wild animal in he's territory. You're not a visitor, you're an intruder. 2- They can sense stress and panic of the people inside the car. 3- Just stay calm. If they don't sense a threat they will go their marry way. 4- Respect the animal. you're not in a petting zoo. You're IN THE WILD
“Close the windows” Lolol
That elephant was like: YOU SHALL NOT PASS!
I am a servant of the secret elephant, welder of the flame of the trunk. Dark cars will never ale you flame of HUMAN !!!! Stomps his feets!!!! Go back to your house!! Car backs off. YOU SHALL NOT PASSSSS!!
Nope, to say this a white beard is required!
I would say it was more like, "will you pass already. What are you waiting for?"
